Never judge a philosophy by its abuse

RE: Never judge a philosophy by its abuse
The truth is right? You don't say!
[/quote]

You are right to question that statement. The concept of "truth" is open to interpretation. Are we talking about facts about a situation or about someone's opinion? Facts can be delivered in a way that steers people away from the truth when key facts are left out. The truth about someone's opinion is not right if the opinion is wrong., i.e., if it is based on false information or misguided emotions.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
--Voltaire

Nietzsche isn't dead. How do I know he lives? He lives in my mind.
